Palestinian Right of Return

The Palestinian Right of Return refers to the claim that Palestinian refugees and their descendants have the right to return to the homes they or their families left or were forced to leave in what is now Israel, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and subsequent conflicts. Palestinians see this as a fundamental right rooted in international law and justice, seeking recognition and restitution of their original homes. Israel, however, raises concerns about the demographic and security implications of this return, leading to ongoing disagreements over the feasibility and morality of this right within peace processes.
